Chapter10: Cha-Cha

Mark opened his eyes and looked down at his arm. "Shit." he muttered. There was blood all over his sheets and his cloths. Mark opened his closet and pulled out a long sleeve shirt. "Good thing it's getting colder so I can cover these up," he said to himself.

He looked at the clock. He was suppose to be at Maureen's an hour ago. Mark sighed and walked out the door.

He stopped a few feet away from the steps of her apartment. Everyone was sitting on the front steps talking and laughing. Kissing and hugging. Mark frowned. He didn't have anyone to love him like that. Squinting he noticed that there was another girl with them. He had never seen her before.

"Mark!" Roger yelled and Mark slowly walked over. Mark looked up at the blonde in front of him. She was very pretty.

Angel smiled and walked over to them. "Hey, Mark. This is my friend Cha-Cha. She visiting from Porto Rico."

Cha-Cha waved to him and Mark couldn't help but blush.

As they began to head inside the house Roger grabbed Mark's arm. "What are you doing?" Roger asked.

"I'm going inside."

"No, I mean why are you making googly eyes a Cha-Cha?"

Mark yanked his arm away from Roger. "What? She's nice and pretty hot."

Roger just stared at Mark. "Dude you know she's a guy, right?"

Mark's face paled. "Huh?"

Roger laughed. "Oh my God, Mark! Cha-Cha is a drag queen."

Mark shook his head. He quietly opened the door and walked inside. Mark glared at Cha-Cha from across the room. She..he..she didn't look like a guy. Mark turned towards Roger who was just walking in. "Are you sure?" he asked.

Roger smiled and nodded. He walked past Mark and sat next to Angel on the couch. "How's it going with Mark?" Angel asked.

Roger grinned at her. "I think he likes Cha-Cha. It might have freaked him out that she's really a he, though. Give it time."

Cha-Cha placed herself next to Angel. "Come on, Chica, tell me who you wanted to hook me up with?" she said pouting.

Angel held her finger up to her lips. Cha-Cha pouted and sank into the chair. Mark slowly came over and sat next to Cha-Cha, at the far end of the couch. Cha-cha rolled her eyes. "I'm not going to bite, baby."

"What?" Mark squeaked.

"Scoot over. I wont hurt you. Promise." Cha-Cha threw Mark a bright smile and Mark slowly moved closer to Cha-Cha.

"So your from Porto Rico?" Mark asked calmly.

Cha-Cha nodded. "Yup. I'll be up here for a little visiting Angel and Mimi."

Mark looked over at Roger and Mimi they were laughing about something and Mimi was sitting on his lap.

"Aren't you hot, Mimi? It's like 90 in here." Roger said.

"Heat's all messed up!" Maureen shouted from the kitchen.

Mimi shook her head. "No I'm fine." She pulled her pale blue jacket tighter around her. Roger frowned. He could see beads of sweat forming on her face. "Meems, why wont you take off the jacket?" His voice sounded panicked.

"I told you I'm not hot."

Roger pushed her off of him. "You're using again!" he shouted.

Mimi looked up at him. "W-what? No."

Roger was fuming he grabbed Mimi and practically ripped off her jacket. She was left standing there in a pink and black t-shirt. Roger grabbed her forearms and saw purple bruises on her arm. Mimi's eye's filled with tears.

"You said you quit." he whispered.

"I tried to." Her voice was cracking but she continued. "It's hard. I couldn't stop."

"Do you want to quit?"

Mimi finally looked at him. "Yes." she muttered.

"Then I'll help you."

Mimi smiled and put her jacket back on. Roger wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tightly.

Angel rested her head on Collins's shoulder. "I love you." she whispered.

Collins put his arm around her shoulder. "I love you too, my Angel."

Angel snuggled closer to him. She looked down at her left hand and played with her diamond promise ring. Collins smiled down at her and then looked at his friends.

Mark and Cha-Cha were quietly talking. Mimi and Roger were still tightly hugging and Maureen and Joanne were preparing food, laughing.

"Hey, Maureen?" Mark yelled.

"What?" she said.

"I thought you were kicked out of your house."

"I was. I'm back though. Trust me I'll be leaving soon."

Joanne happily entered the room carrying a bag of chips. "And then we can all live together."

Everyone fell silent when they heard quiet music. It sounded like fairy music from a Disney movie.

"Sorry." Cha-Cha mumbled, grabbing her cell phone. "Hello- Oh, Hi, baby.- Yeah, I'm good- Okay, I love you too, sweetie." She hung up the phone and stood up. "My man called. He's in New York just for today so I'll be home later, Angel and Mimi."

"Huh? I thought you were single?" Mark said.

"So did I.." Angel added.

"Well," she started. "He cheated on me so I was planning on breaking up with him, but I might not. Oh well, bye everyone. Bye Markie!" She gave him a small wave and left.

"So she's really a drag queen?" Mark asked.

"Yes, you fucking fag." Roger quickly said. Angel winced slightly and Mimi slapped Roger in the back of the head. He looked up at everyone. No one really looked mad except for Mimi. Collins was looking dreamily at Angel, obviously he doesn't know what else is going on. And Angel looks a little..hurt?

"Oh Sorry. I meant fa-that word as in retarded, you know?" Roger was wringing his hands.

Angel smiled softly at him. "It's fine."

"What is?" Collins said finally realizing that he missed something.

"You are, honey." Angel said, smiling at him.
